(1) باب في الاي مة عليهم السلام انهم يعرفون اجال شيعتهم وسبب ما يصيبهم CHAPTER 1 REGARDING THE IMAMS asws, THEY asws KNOW THE TERMS OF THEIR asws SHIITES AND THE REASON FOR THEIR SUFFERING (1) حدثنا أبو القاسم قال حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار قال حدثنا محمد بن الحسن قال حدثنا احمد بن على بن الحكم عن ربيع بن محمد المكى عن سعد بن طريف عن الاصبغ بن نباته قال آان امير المو منين عليه السلام إذا وقف الرجل بين يديه قال يا فلان استعد واعد لنفسك ما تريد فانك تمرض في يوم آذا وآذا في ساعة آذا وآذا و سبب مرضك آذا وآذا وتموت في شهر آذا وآذا في يوم آذا وآذا في ساعة آذا و آذا قال سعد فقلت هذا الكلام لابي جعفر عليه السلام فقال آان ذاك فقلت جعلت فداك فكيف لا تقول انت فلا تخبرنا فنستعد له قال هذا باب اغلق الجواب فيه على بن الحسين عليه السلام حتى يقوم قاي منا. 1 It has been narrated to us from Abu Al-Qasim, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al-Ataar, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from Ahmad Bin Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Rabi e Bin Muhammad Al-Makky, from Sa d Bin Tareyf, from Al-Asbagh Bin Nabat who said: When a man paused in front of Amir-ul-Momineen asws, he asws said: O so and so, get ready and prepare yourself for what you want, for you will be falling sick on such and such a day, in such and such an hour, and the reason for your illness will be such and such, and you will die in such and such a month, on such and such a day, in such and such an hour. Sa d said, I said this speech to Abu Ja far asws. He asws said: That was then. I said, May I be sacrificed for you, why don t you asws say, and do not inform us so we can be prepared. He asws said: This door is closed from the time of Ali asws Bin Al-Husayn asws (Taqqiya) 1 until the day of our asws Qaim asws. (2) حدثنا محمد بن عيسى قال حدثنى ابراهيم بن محمد قال آان أبو جعفر محمد بن على عليه السلام آتب إلى آتابا وامرني ان لا افكه حتى يموت يحيى بن ابى عمران قال فمكث الكتاب عندي سنين فلما آان اليوم الذى مات فيه يحيى بن ابن عمران فككت الكتاب فا ذا فيه قم بما آان يقوم به أو نحو هذا من الامر قال. 2 It has been narrated to us from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad who said: Abu Ja far Muhammad Bin Ali asws had written to me, and ordered me: Do not open it until Yahya Bin Abu Umran dies. The letter stayed with me for years. When it was the day in which Yahya Bin Abu Umran died, I opened the letter, and in it was written: Do what he was doing, or work towards this matter, he asws said (3) وحدثني يحيى واسحق ابنا سليمان بن داود ان ابراهيم اقرأ هذا الكتاب في المقبرة يوما مات يحيى وآان ابراهيم يقول آنت لااخاف الموت ماآان يحيى بن ابى عمران حيا واخبرني بذلك الحسن بن عبد االله بن سليمان 3 And It has been narrated to me Yahya and Is haq, sons of Suleyman Bin Dawood said: Ibrahim read this letter in the graveyard on the day that Yahya died, and Ibrahim was saying, I was not afraid of death so long as Yahya Bin Abu Umran was alive, and this news has been transmitted by Al-Hassan Bin Abdullah Bin Suleyman.(This is a Riwaya) (4) حدثنا محمد بن عيسى عن الحسين بن على الوشا عن هشام قال اردت شرى جارية بثمن وآتبت إلى ابى الحسن عليه السلام استشيره في ذلك فامسك فلم يجبنى فانى من الغد عند مولى الجارية إذ مربى وهى جالسة عند جوار فصرت بتجربة الجارية فنظر إليها قال ثم رجع إلى منزله فكتب إلى لا باس ان لم يكن في عمرها قلة قال فامسكت عن شراي ها فلم اخرج من مكة حتى ماتت. 4 It has been narrated to us from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Ali Al-Washaa, from Hashaam who said: 1 Dissimulation 4 out of 64

I wanted to buy a maid for a price, and I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan asws regarding that. He asws withheld and did not answer me. The next day he asws was with the master of the maid, When he asws passed by, and she was sitting with the neighbours, to see the experience of the maid. He asws looked at her. Then he asws returned to his asws home. He asws wrote to me: There is nothing wrong, but she does not have long to live. I refrained from purchasing her. I had not gone out from Mecca, and she died. (5) حدثنا معاوية بن حكيم عن جعفر بن محمد بن يونس عن عبد الرحمن بن الحجاج قال استقرض أبو الحسن ع عن شهاب بن عبد ربه قال وآتب آتابا ووضع على يدى عبد الرحمن ابن الحجاج قال ان حدث بى حدثة قال عبد الرحمن فخرجت من مكة فلقينى أبو الحسن فارسل إلى بمنى فقال لى يا عبد االله خرق الكتاب قال ففعلت وقدمت الكوفة فسا لت عن شهاب فا ذا هو قد مات في وقت لم يكن فيه بعث الكتاب. 5 It has been narrated to us from Muawiys Bin Hakim, from Ja far Bin Muhammad Bin Yunus, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Al-Hajaaj who said: Abu Ja far asws was going to lend money to Shahaab Bin Abd Rabi e, and wrote a letter, and placed it on the hand of Abdul Rahmaan Ibn Al-Hajjaaj. He asws, then, told him that an event had occurred. Abdul Rahman said, I went out from Mecca and was met by Abu Al-Hassan asws at Mina. He asws said to me: O Abdullah, destroy the letter. I did that and proceeded to Al-Kufa. I asked about Shahaab, and it so happened that he had died during the time, when the letter was not sent. (6) حدثنا الحسين بن محمد عن معلى بن محمد عن احمد بن عبد االله عن عبد االله بن اسحق عن على بن ابى بصير قال قال أبو عبد االله عليه السلام يا ابا محمد ما فعل أبو حمزة قال جعلت فداك خلفته صالحا فقال إذا رجعت إليه فاقرأه السلام واعلمه انه يموت يوم آذاوآذا من شهر وآذا وآذا قال أبو بصير جعلت فداك لقد آان فيه انس وآان لكم شيعة قال صدقت يا ابا محمد ما عندنا خير له قال جعلت فداك شيعتكم قال نعم إذا خاف االله بوراقبه وتوقى الذنوب فاذاه فعل ذلك آان معنا في درجاتنا قال أبو بصير فرجعت فما لبث أبو حمزة حتى هلك تلك الساعة في ذلك اليوم. 6 It has been narrated to us from Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Abdullah, from Abdullah bin Is haq, from Ali Bin Abu Baseer who said: Abu Abdullah asws said: O Abu Muhammad, what did Abu Hamza do? I said, May I be sacrificed for you asws, he has a good legacy behind him. He asws said: When you return to him, convey my asws greetings to him, and let him know that he will be dying on such and such a day, in such and such a month. Abu Baseer said, May I be sacrificed for you, there was love in this, and he was a Shiite to you asws. He asws said: You have spoken the truth, O Abu Muhammad, what we asws have is better for him. He said, May I be sacrificed for you, your asws Shiites?. He asws said: Yes, if they fear Allah azwj by observing piety, and fear the sins. If they do that act, they would be with us asws in our asws levels. Abu Baseer said, I returned. Abu Hamza, as had been predicted for him, died in that predicted hour on that predicted day. (7) حدثنا محمد بن الحسين عن عبد االله بن سعيد الدعشى عن الحسين بن موسى قال اشتكى عمى محمد بن جعفر حتى اشرف على الموت قال فكنا مجتمعين عنده فدخل أبو الحسن عليه السلام فقعد في ناحية واسحق عمى عند رأسه يبكى فقعد قليلا ثم قام فتبعته فقلت جعلت فداك يلومك اخوتك واهل بيتك يقولون دخلت على عمك وهو في الموت ثم خرجت قال أي اخى ارايت هذا الباآى سيموت ويبكى ذاك عليه قال فبرأ محمد بن جعفر واشتكى اسحق فمات وبكى محمد عليه. 7 It has been narrated to us frommuhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Abdullah Bin Saeed Al-Da ashy, from Al-Husayn Bin Musa who said: Muhammad Bin Ja far complained of his blindness until he approached the death. There was a gathering around him. Abu Al-Hassan asws came to him. He asws sat in an area, and Is haq was crying near to his head. He asws sat only for a little while, then stood up. I followed him asws. I said, May I be sacrificed for you asws, your asws brothers and your family will accuse you asws by saying that you asws came to your asws uncle, and he was in the death-bed, then you asws left. He asws said: Yes my brother, you 5 out of 64

have seen this crying and he (Is haq) will be dying, and that (Muhammad) will be crying over him. Muhammad Bin Ja far recovered fully, and Is haq complained and died, and Muhammad cried over him. (8) حدثنا احمد بن محمد عن على بن الحكم عن سيف بن عميرة عن ابى اسامة قال قال لى أبو عبد االله عليه السلام يا زيد آم اتى عليك من سنة قلت جعت فداك آذا سنة قال يا ابا اسامة جدد عبادة ربك واحدث توبة فبكيت فقال لى ما يبكيك يا زيد قلت نعيت إلى نفسي قال يا زيد ابشر فانك من شيعتنا وانت في الجنة. 8 It has been narrated to us fromahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Sayf Bin Uneyr, from Abu Usama who said: Abu Abdullah asws said to me: O Zayd, how much has come to you in one year? I said, May I be sacrificed for you asws, so much in one year. He asws said: O Abu Usama, renew the worship of your Lord azwj and repent. I wept. He asws said to me: What makes you cry, O Zayd? I said, I am worried for myself. He asws said: O Zayd, I asws give you good news, surely you are from our asws Shiites, and you destiny is Paradise. (9) حدثنا عبد االله بن محمد عن ابراهيم بن محمد قال حدثنا على بن معلى قال حدثنا ابن ابى حمزة عن سيف بن عميرة قال سمعت العبد الصالح ابا الحسن عليه السلام ينعى إلى رجل نفسه فقلت في نفسي وانه ليعلم متى يموت الرجل من شيعته فقال شبه المغضب يا اسحق قد آان رشيد الهجرى يعلم علم المنايا والبلايا فالامام اولى بذلك. 9 It has been narrated to us fromabdullah Bin Muhammad, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Moala, from Abu Hamza, from Sayf Bin Umeyra who said: I noticed Al-Abd Al-Saleh Abu Al-Hassan asws was feeling sad about a (dying) man. I said to myself, And he asws knows when a man from his asws Shiites is going to die. He asws said, as if he asws being offended: O Is haq, Rashid Al-Hijry knew the knowledge of the deaths and the affliction. The Imam asws is higher than that. (10) حدثنا جعفر بن اسحق عن عثمان بن على عن خالد بن نجيح قال قلت ان اصحابنا قد قدموا من الكوفة فذآروا ان المفضل شديد الوجع فادع االله له قال قد استراح وآان هذا الكلام بعد موته بثلث ايام. 10 It has been narrated to us fromja far Bin Is haq, from Usman Bin Ali, from Khalid Bin Najeeh who said: I said that our companions have come from Al-Kufa. I was told that Al-Mufazzal was in extreme condition, and (Imam asws ) supplicated to Allah azwj for him. After having relieved (from pain), he died, three days after these words. (11) وعنه عن عثمان بن عيسى عن خالد قل آنت مع ابى الحسن عليه السلام بمكة فقال من هيهنا من اصحابكم فعددت عليه ثمانية انفس فامر باخراج اربعة وسكت عن اربعة فما آان الا يوم ومن الغد حتى مات الاربعة فسلموا. 11 And from him, from Usman Bin Isa, from Khalid who said: I was with Abu Al-Hassan asws at Mecca. He asws said: Who is present here from your companions? They were numbered for him asws as eight men. He asws ordered for the expulsion of four, and remained silent about the other four. Not one day had passed, and on the next day, when the four (staying ones) died. (The expelled ones) were safe. (12) حدثنا جعفر بن اسحق عن سعد عن عثمان بن عيسى عن خالد بن نجيح عن ابى الحسن عليه السلام قال قال لى افرغ فيما بينك وبين من آان له معك عمل في سنة اربع وسبعين وماي ة حتى يجيي ك آتابي وانظر ما عندك وما بعث به إلى و لاتقبل من احد شيي ا وخرج إلى المدينة وبقى خالد بمكة خمسة عشر يوما ثم مات. 12 It has been narrated to us fromja far Bin Is haq, from Sa d, from Usman Bin Isa, from Khalid Bin Najeeh, who has said the following: Abu Al-Hassan asws said to me: As for those who are between you and those who have work with you in the year one hundred and seventy four, until there comes to you a letter from me asws, and look at what is with you, and what has been sent to 6 out of 64

you, and I did not accept anything from anyone, and went out to Al-Medina, and Khalid remained at Mecca for fifteen days, then died. (13) حدثنا الحسن بن على بن فضال عن معاوية عن اسحق قال آنت عند ابى الحسن عليه السلام ودخل عليه رجل فقال له أبو الحسن عليه السلام يا فلان انك تموت إلى شهر قال فاضمرت في نفسي آانه يعلم اجال شيعته قال يا اسحق وما تنكرون من ذلك وقد آان رشيد الهجرى مستضعفا وآان يعلم علم المنايا والبلايا فالامام اولى بذلك ثم قال يا اسحق تموت إلى سنتين ويشتت أهلك وولدك وعيالك واهل بيتك ويفلسون افلاسا شديدا. 13 It has been narrated to us fromal-hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazaal, from Muawiya, from Is haq who said: I was with Abu Al-Hassan asws, and a man came over and Abu Al-Hassan asws said to him: O so and so, you will be dead in a month. I thought to myself that he asws knows the term of the Shiites. He asws said: O Is haq, and what are you denying from that, and Rashid Al-Hajr, a weak one, knew the knowledge of the deaths and the affliction. The Imam asws is higher than that. Then said: O Is haq, you will die in two years time, and your people and your sons and your relatives and your family will be dispersed, and you will experience severe financial-hardship. (14) حدثنا يعقوب بن يزد عن ابن ابى عمير عن هشام بن الحكم عن ميسر قال قال أبو عبد االله عليه السلام يا ميسر لقد زيد في عمرك فاى شي تعمل قال آنت اجيرا وانا غلام بخمسة دراهم فكنت اجريها على حالى. 14 It has been narrated to us fromyaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hashaam Bin Al- Hakam, from Maysar who said: Abu Abdullah asws said: O Maysar, there has been an increase in your life, what act did you do? He said, I was a wage earner, when I was a young boy with five Dirhams. I fulfilled my contract although I was very little. (15) حدثنا الحسن بن على عن ابى الصباح عن زيد الشحام قال دخلت على ابى عبد االله عليه السلام فقال يا زيد جدد عبادة واحدث توبة قال نعيت إلى نفسي جعلت فداك قال فقال لى يا زيد ما عندنا خير لك وانت من شيعتنا قال وقلت وآيف لى انا اآون من شيعتكم قال فقال لى انت من شيعتنا الينا الصراط والميزان وحساب شيعتنا واالله لانا ارحم بكم منكم بانفسكم آانى انظر اليك ورفيقك في درجتك في الجنة. 15 It has been narrated to us fromal-hassan Bin Ali, from Abu Al-Sabaah, from Zayd Al-Shahaam who said: I came to Abu Abdullah asws. He asws said: O Zayd, renew your worship and increase your repentance. I said, I am worried for myself, may I be sacrificed for you asws. He asws said to me: O Zayd, what is with us asws is better for you, and you are from our asws Shiites. I said, And how will I become from your asws Shiites? He asws said to me: You are from our asws Shiites to us asws at the Bridge (Al-Siraat), and the Scale (Al-Mizaan), and Reckoning (Hisaab). By Allah azwj, for our asws Shiites, I asws will be more merciful to them than they are for themselves; it is as if I asws see you and your friends in your levels in the Paradise. (16) حدثنا احمد بن الحسين عن الحسن بن برة عن عثمان بن عيسى قال دخلت على ابى الحسن عليه السلام سنة الموت بمكة وهى سنة اربع وسبعون وماي ة فقال لى من هيهنا من اصحابكم مريض فقلت عثمان بن عيسى من اوجع الناس فقال قل له يخرج ثم قال من هيهنا فعددت عليه ثمانية فا مرنا باخراج اربعة وآف عن اربعة فما امسينا من غد حتى دفنا الاربعة الذين آف عن اخراجهم فقال عثمان فخرجت انا فاصبحت معافا. 16 It has been narrated to us fromahmad Bin Al-Husayn, from Al-Hassan Bin Barat, from Usman Bin Isa who said: I came to Abu Al-Hassan asws in the year of the death, and it was the year one hundred and seventy four. He asws said to me: How many of your companions are over here are sick? I said, Usman Bin Isa is from the people who weep. He asws said: Tell him to go out. Then said, How many are over here? I numbered eight for him asws. He asws ordered four of us to leave, and paused from four. It was no more 7 out of 64

than a day that the four who had paused from exiting were buried. Usman said, I went out and became healthy. 8 out of 64

I said, O son asws of the Messenger of Allah saww, that is not what has prevented me, but that it did not make me restless to come to you asws, but this has occurred to me. Al-Husayn Bin Ali asws uncovered the mask. He asws said: O Habaabat, thank Allah azwj, for Allah azwj has Repulsed this from you. She said, I fell in prostration. He asws said: O Habaabat, raise your head, and look in your mirror. She said, I raised my head, there was nothing more beautiful than it.

He asws didn't speak to me until when we were in the plains of Mecca, and I saw the people who were grumbling to Allah azwj. He asws said: O Abu Muhammad, what is more is the noise, and the laughter and less of the Pilgrims. By the One Who azwj Sent Muhammad saww with Prophet-hood, and Expedited his saww soul to the Paradise, Allah azwj will not Accept, except from you and ones similar to you especially, and he asws wiped his asws hand on my face, and said: O Abu Baseer, look!
